Re: [Pearg] Proposed virtual interim on IP address privacy

[Christopher Wood <[e-mail]>]

Thanks to everyone who chimed in! It seems there's interest in an interim on this general topic. 

Here's a Doodle poll to help us find a date and time that works well for everyone in January:

The chairs are working on finalizing the agenda based on folks who replied to this thread. If you would like to present on the topic of IP address privacy, please let us know!

Thanks,
Chris, on behalf of the chairs
